The real crazy thing is that this post violates the neutrality policy it references. Plus an institution that refused to admit Black people for over 100 years had as its founding purpose discrimination.
.@EDSecMcMahon is correct. DEI is discriminatory by design, antithetical to the purpose of a university, and incompatible with the pursuit of truth.
The University of Florida has already acted on that conviction. In December 2025, our Board of Trustees adopted institutional neutrality and embedded an anti-DEI mandate within the presidential contract itself, ensuring that no university funds, public or private, will underwrite DEI at this institution.
Dr. Stuart Bell stands with Secretary McMahon, the Board, and the people of Florida on this. He is ready to lead UF forward as a university defined by merit, rigor, and the pursuit of truth.

As an alum I’m appalled by this statement. DEI means Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. All good things. All things that belong in the academy. I’m embarrassed by what is being done to an outstanding university by right wing extremists in the state of Florida.

We’ve absolutely jumped the shark. Disappointing, to say the least.

If this solar farm went through as proposed, it could come within a mile of Ash Meadows.
Often described as the Galapagos of the Mojave Desert, the refuge is home to crystal blue pools with tiny fish found nowhere else in the world. Story @reviewjournal: reviewjournal.com/news/envir…

Nevada lawmakers will likely consider guardrails for data centers in the 2027 legislative session. But are they too late to meaningfully regulate an industry that has exploded in the past 5 years?

So much of the Western United States looks like this.
Why aren't we carpeting it with solar farms and colocating data centers & grid-scale batteries?

Litigation will only cost taxpayers in the Colorado River Basin states more money. They must come to a fair agreement for post-2026 operations that safeguards our water future and our livelihoods.

NEW: @MarkAmodeiNV2, the Republican who shaped the Homeland Security funding bill, told me "there needs to be a pivot in the whole operation" after Pretti's death.
He said Noem "didn’t do herself any favors when she called this guy a domestic terrorist."
